Crowley and Aziraphale’s new year’s resolutions

by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Crowley:

Resolution #1: I must accept that Super-Gluing valuable coins to the sidewalk and then watching events from a nearby café is not proper demonic activity.

Resolution #2: The same applies to rearranging the letters on wayside pulpits.

Resolution #3: Try to come up with something as good as cell phone ringtones, following one last stab at convincing Downstairs that cell phone ringtones are right up there in the whole Human Misery stakes. And iPods. Has anybody Down There even said thank you for iPods? Or “Googling yourself?” Frankly, I deserve some kind of award for “Googling yourself.”

Resolution #4: I must encourage greedy people to use the term, “Low-hanging fruit,” because that’s just like old times.

Resolution #5: This year, I will get a desk near the window.

Resolution #6: I will try to understand why Hell is a no-smoking area. I just think it’s ridiculous having to stand around outside the gates, that’s all.

Resolution #7: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design, because it upsets everyone.

Resolution #8: Stop Googling myself.

Aziraphale:

Resolution #1: Spread peace and love and glad tidings of great joy throughout the world. Also try to get out more.

Resolution #2: I will be charitable to people who use the term “core values,” however difficult this may be.

Resolution #3: Notwithstanding Resolution #2 (above), I will redouble my efforts to have the utterance of the phrase “core values” classified as a deadly sin. I believe Himself is with me on this one.

Resolution #4: I will try to be nicer to the customers. They want to buy books; I want to sell them. It can’t be that hard. (Memo to self: Regular opening hours? Mark prices on books?)

Resolution #5: I will try to be polite to Gabriel, no matter what the provocation.

Resolution #6: Find out exactly what an “Internet” is.

Resolution #7: Really must resume dancing lessons. Learn the “Galloping Major,” the “Gay Gordons,” the “Mashed Potatoes.” Possibly even the “Twist”?

Resolution #8: Thwart Infernal Wiles (ongoing).

Resolution #9: I will try to understand why Heaven is a non-smoking area.

Resolution #10: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design – despite the fact that the human airway crosses the digestive tract. Who thought that was intelligent?

Resolution #11: Feed the ducks.

Actual good first-time college student advice:

Wear jeans/pants that “breathe” and bring a sweater, even if it’s scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna

Backpacks with thick straps are your friend!  Messenger bags are cool and all but if you’re commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back

You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as you’re not disrupting the class.  Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if you’re anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.

If you don’t like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE!  It’ll only get worse from there!

If you can, take a class outside your major; it’s a good break from your expected studies.

You are in charge of your schedule.  Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to ‘advise and guide’ but if you don’t like certain classes and you can substitute for others, that’s your choice.

Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.

Pay attention to your credit hours and grades.  Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!

Unless it’s a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook.  Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online.  Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually don’t give discounts).  Use your best judgement on what you think you need.

Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and don’t have time to listen to them.  It’s less rude and they’ll leave you alone.

The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates.  They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study.  And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.

You don’t need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!

If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if you’re too exhausted.  Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!

Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!!  Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed.  Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time.  Look into it if you need to!

Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something.  Anything.

Eat and stay hydrated.  Bring a water bottle and snack to class.

All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.

It’s going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up.  This WILL happen.  You just have to make sure what you’re doing isn’t making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!

On Zemo and what it means to be machiavellian

I've seen that a lot of people seem confused by Zemo's character: him seeming so "woke" and how is he a bad guy if he's not a nazi? (Sidenote: MCU Zemo is indeed not a nazi.)

So let's talk about Machiavelli! Unfortunately, the general opinion is that being machiavellian is synonymous to being immoral. This is false. If any, it's a synonym of being amoral. Let me walk you through a little story.

A teacher gives two apples to the white boy and asks him to share with the black boy. The teacher has a set of morals rules amongst which are "sharing is good" and "racism is bad." The white boy has also his own code of morals. Now, his morals can differ from the teacher's - "white people are superior to black people" or similar but he rejects them: "sharing is good but I choose not to do the good thing." (Obviously it's not as clearly cut but you get the gist.) In both cases, it's a morality concern and if the white boy refuses, the teacher can say his action is immoral.

Now, imagine the white kid is Zemo: morality is not of his concern. Zemo is amoral: he doesn't share nor reject moral codes because he doesn't have ones. So, will he share his apples? The answer is: what choice serves best his interest? If the teacher says she'll give him a candy if he does, he will. If she will also offer a candy to the other kid, he will still because otherwise it would be against his own interest (getting a candy) to be "bad" (immoral) towards the other kid. But if he's hungry for two apples and too hungry for one apple and a candy, he will keep the two apples. Unless the teacher says she'll give him two apples every day if he shares and none if he doesn't. Last example: if he's only hungry for one apple, he will give the other one because the social reward (the teacher is proud, the kid becomes his friend) outweighs the benefit of being greedy or the satisfaction of "doing a bad thing" (that immoral people can get from not helping others).

The key here is to understand that being machiavellian means seeking your own profit on the long-term. It's not the same as being egoistic because the machiavellist takes into consideration all aspects of life, including the social one.

Coincidentally, Zemo might look like a sugar daddy because it is less a bother for him to treat Sam and Bucky the same he treats himself than it would be to treat them "badly". He also seems so empathetic and "woke" because he needs to get people on a deeply level if he wants to manipulate them in order to reach his objectives. It's very important to understand that Zemo could do all the good things in the world without being inherently good or do all the bad things in the world without inherently being bad because he does not care as long as it helps him. Also, the second most important aspect of machiavellism (after seeking one's own profit on the long-term) is looking for the most efficient way of reaching said profit.

Look at how/why Zemo kills Nagel. One bullet, quick death: he doesn't enjoy killing, he's just perfectly indifferent to it. As for the why, Zemo's objective is no more super soldiers and never again; the most efficient way to make sure Nagel will never share his formula or recreates the serum himself ever again is by killing him.

To be fair, I find all of this so fucking hilarious because Zemo could rule the US (and the world) and erase all kind of systemic oppression off the idea that: no civil unrest of any kind = no criminals, no criminals = no need for (and apparition of) super soldiers/heroes.

Tl;dr being machiavellian is being amoral (and not immoral). Someone machiavellian could do either/both good things of bad things depending on which ones profit them the most. What makes Zemo a bad guy is his lack of genuine care ALONG with the fact he does bad things like killing people.
